Looking to make a difference in your community? We offer a range of volunteer opportunities across the Diocese for people of all ages, backgrounds, and skill sets.
Whether you’re looking to lend a helping hand at a local event, support community members in need, or share your professional skills in a meaningful way, there’s a place for you in our volunteer network. Volunteers are the heart of many of our services, and their time, energy and compassion make a lasting impact.
Opportunities are available in parishes, schools and our social services. Volunteering with us is also a great way to meet people, build connections, and grow in your own personal and spiritual journey.
No matter how much time you can give, whether it’s a few hours a week or once-off involvement, we’d love to hear from you.
